Malcolm 4 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I Installed the App "lightmeter" on my new Pro1X and my old S7. Both are near by on my Desk. As you can see in the Screen they have a huge Differenz on the Same Spot. In the IGG Diskussion i read other Users have the same problem, but at this point there where no Bugreport over this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,399 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Interesting. I doubt that the sensors are calibrated, to some standard source, so not surprised the numbers are not correct. The two devices could also have a difference in how wide they are getting light . The main purpose of the sensor is to allow for adaptive brightness. But sure would be nice if they (or we?) could calibrate them correctly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malcolm 4 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 today the first test outside with the mobile and the brightness will be adaptet. so everything is working by me. It is only the difference to the S7. I mean a Lux is a fixed unit, so i thing it has to be the same on both devices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The app is taking readings from a sensor that never was designed for the purpose, just guessing what Lux value those readings might correspond to. If nothing reliable comes out of that, it's not the fault of the phone. Edited August 13, 2022 by Rob. S. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
